At that, the corners of Jake's mouth lifted slightly, and he drawled, “Ah, that's right. I chose you.
Back then, Mia was reluctant to accept the advertisement. Instead, it was Osmond who forced her to accept it. Later, when she learned that it was the youngest and most handsome president of the legendary Sky Entertainment who personally chose her, a burst of delight infused her, and she felt as though she would burst with joy.
However, Megan was very surprised upon hearing that. Even if she's slightly famous now, she's still a newbie, so why would a conglomerate like Sky Entertainment choose her for an endorsement?
“Um... I heard that you'll be staying the night here, Mr. Wilson?” Mia mustered all her courage and asked after a moment's hesitation.
Her cheeks were stained bright red, arousing an urge to take a bite out of them.
Hearing that, Jake's alluring brows scrunched together deeply. Seemingly instinctually, he glanced in Megan's direction without saying anything.
In truth, he didn't seem inclined to answer her. But upon seeing that Mia wasn't planning on leaving even after a long while had passed, he finally replied out of a sense of innate politeness, murmuring, “Yeah.”
“In that case, are you free tonight, Mr. Wilson?
I'm hoping...”
Mia lifted her head a fraction, her gaze radiating a hint of shyness and anticipation. It was precisely that expression of hers that had countless men falling at her feet, for it downright aroused men's protectiveness.
Upon seeing that, Megan sneered. After all, she knew that Mia would always put on such a shy expression when she wanted to sink her hooks into a man, feigning a pitiful demeanor by utilizing her wiles.
But this time, Megan noticed something different from her expression. It also carried the overture of a young maiden who was on the cusp of her first love. It was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on her face.
